Establish a community-managed VM solution

[rhyolight]

We need a community-managed VM that contains NuPIC already installed with all dependencies, ready to run. All tests should run and pass, including swarming. This should include documentation about how to run the VM from scratch, as well as the latest commit SHA of NuPIC it has been tested with.

Ideally, a newbie from any environment should be able to get NuPIC up-and-running, with all tests passing and sample apps running, within an hour in a VM (hopefully less!). Organized documentation and a drop-dead simple installation is extremely important.

[breznak]

alternatively you can use the virtualbox VM http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.ai.nupic/1016

Haven't heard much about this issue lately. Any progress with Docker?

[jefffohl]

I haven't spent as much time on this in the last few weeks as I had hoped. My day job responsibilities ballooned in recent weeks. I am still looking forward to checking out the Docker file. In the meantime, I still have the torrent of the VM available for seeding.

We do have the nupic-chef repo that is the chef cookbooks I used to build the original hackathon VM for vagrant and Virtualbox.

[dfowler7437]

I am trying to get setup and am failing. I tried the Vagrant on a Mac Book Pro running Win8.1, Vagrant cant see Virtual box, times out. I can see the VM running but it needs some special setting I cant change in the BIOS cause Macs don't have a BIOS like PCs do.

I did do the Vagrant tutorial and got a VM with Ubuntu working.

I moved to an IMac running Mavricks and tried again, same issue with Vagrant timing out. I can run the VM directly but don't know what to enter for the login.

Is it possible to work from the console of the VM? If so, how do I log in?

[jefffohl]

Try this for login/password: nupic/nupic

If you still have trouble, there is a Docker file that works well made by Allan Costa, which you can find here: https://index.docker.io/u/allanino/nupic/

To set up Docker, you will need to work on a Linux machine. So, if you are working on OSX, you will need to make a virtual machine. Docker has steps on how to set up for OSX here: http://docs.docker.io/en/latest/installation/vagrant/ On the last step, where it says, "sudo docker", you will want to do that from a directory where the Dockerfile linked above is located.

If you need further help, let me know.

Awesome! thanks for the reply.. nupic/nupic did not work. Thank you for the help.

I did the docker, even though the hello world example, then started the steps you pointed me to but failed at. wget https://bitbucket.org/pypa/setuptools/raw/bootstrap/ez_setup.py -O - | python;\ wget https://raw.github.com/pypa/pip/master/contrib/get-pip.py -O - | python;\ I used “sudo” but still, fail.

Allan wrote some steps on how to use his file here, on his Github page: https://github.com/allanino/docker-nupic

I would recommend trying these steps.

I think I am getting mixed up as to where you are with the installation. I just wrote up a wiki page on how to get things running using Docker here: https://github.com/numenta/nupic/wiki/Install-NuPIC-using-Docker

I think those ERROR messages are actually part of the tests. That is to say, the tests are mocking up failures to in order to test the catching of exceptions. I am saying this without any deep knowledge of the unit tests, however, and making this statement based on the summaries at the bottom. Matt might be able to give more insight.

I'm mildly concerned with the following failures:

  ======= Tests for TesterTest ==============
  Total tests: 10, Failures:      4, Disabled     : 0
  WARNING: Critical failure ocurred
  FAIL  Integer test, should fail (line: 50)

  FAIL  String test, should fail (line: 52)
        Expected result: Numenta
        Actual result:   Numenta

I'm not sure why these would fail, but if the sample application (hotgym) runs, you're probably good to go.

Thank you so much for the help Jeff,

I’m an experienced embedded system developer with not much experience with Linux…

Do you have a suggestion for how I get stated Groking NuPic? I will look over the NuMenta site and read what I can find.. Maybe you have some other pointers I should explore…

I am glad you were able to get it up and running David. I am also somewhat new to NuPIC, and to date have not done much but get the tests running and play with the included examples, such as hotgym. That said, I would definitely start by reading Numenta's white paper discussing the CLA (Cortical Learning Algorithm): http://numenta.org/cla-white-paper.html

What got your interest in NuPIC? Do you have a specific problem you would like to solve, or are you just generally interested in machine learning?

[dfowler7437]

I work in Agriculture, typically with automatic guidance using GPS.

One of the major things I work with is crop sprayers, these machines enter into field and spray a chemical in swaths. They move back and forth in lines minimizing overspray or skipping.

We have tracking devices on some of these machines (at the operators request). I have a historical data about the movements of these machines with year long time frames. I want to create a report showing how much time the machines spent working vrs parked or traveling. Parked is easy to detect automatically, but detecting when they are actually working is not as easy. Speed is a rough indication but not really great for the purpose as they can spray at the same speed as they travel.

An initial test would be to feed the CLA with data and have it detect when a machine is actually doing a job. The machines are parked most of the time, they travel on roads between fields and once in a field they move back and forth as they apply.

I can plot this data on a Google map and its very easy for me to see that an operator is spraying, they are driving back and forth in a confined space.

I know that the CLA needs sparsely distributed data streams, so I’m thinking the heading data needs to be differentiated and spread across bits. Say a 32 bit long value where the center bit is the bias point. The real time data is filtered to an average value which is subtracted from the real-time value. This difference would be sensitive to change in direction and distributed sparsely across the bits.

Am I on track, or nuts? Could nupic be adapted to take data like this and flag that the data shows back and forth driving?

@dfowler7437 Let me suggest that you take this comment above, exactly as you asked it, and post it on our nupic-discuss mailing list. That's where you'll get the best responses from members of our community. You'll have to subscribe yourself, but it's worth it to get your question more exposure.

Most of our community is not monitoring these Github issues (mostly just us developers).
